The case was also reported by another English news site, mirror.co.uk. Both Mirror and UNILAD were unable to name the victim. They claimed that the child was given a public funeral and was buried two days after the discovery of his remains.

Meanwhile, experts in the area claimed that the rising water in their rivers due to heavy rains greatly affected the sightings of these huge reptiles.
